Thanks for the posting!
Very true from someone who saw and lived Communism.
He must be really confident of winning in November.
How about a mask with a yellow Jude star on it?
I think the point is this is being forced on Americans without anyone ever voting on it.
You can’t arrest or fine anyone without them being charged with a crime.
If there is no law, there is by default no crime.
There are plenty of laws on the books now which are now ignored.
If you are not going to enforce it, remove the law.
If you are going to enforce it, write and pass a law.
“He is positioning for the Karen vote”
He already has it.
or you will be shot ?
Yeah, Joe, you democrats are GREAT at forcing people to do things...
... like democrats forcing people to work on plantations...
... like democrats forcing people to sit in the back of a bus...
....like democrats forcing people to go to segregated schools, diners, water fountains...
Yup. We know all too well how great democrats are at using FORCE on people.
OSHA and CDC say face diapers are not PPE. Lots of confusion out there.
I won’t wear squat, anyone in the way gets put down. Hard.
States with outbreaks already require masks in public places. States already have all the PPE they need at this point (It is been over a month since any facility in Virginia listed a shortage of PPE).
So again, he is saying he would do things that are ALREADY BEING DONE.
Feds can’t actually force people to wear masks.
But it could be fun — someone should ask Biden if he would authorize national guard or army units to go into states that didn’t have mask rules, and round up any protesters who were not wearing masks in public.
I don’t know what is scarier, that Biden is campaigning on this, or that half the country will vote for it ...
I saw a cartoon comparing wearing a facemask under your nose with wearing underwear with the waistband under (as the Brits would say it) your meat and two veg.
But I really don't blame Slow Joe for panicking since “Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID” according to Joe himself.
Alas, some parts of it, that's for sure.
Heard a fascinating story from a co-worker today.
He had an aunt who passed away in a nursing home from coronavirus. She was 91.
She shared her room in the facility with her 94-year old husband.
Despite spending nearly every hour of every day in the same room with a wife WHO WAS DYING OF CORONAVIRUS the husband did NOT become ill.
In fact, he did NOT even TEST POSITIVE!
And yet we’re told it’s imperative that we wear a mask inside Giant Eagle.
Even when Trump is re-elected I truly don’t know how our Republic can recover from the incredible amount of damage inflicted with much more to come before November.
I wrote the following in response to someone talking about how good they are for wearing a mask.
Feel free to share it - just don’t attribute it to my username.
I wore my virtue today.
It started as a ‘just in case’ thing as I knew I might be visiting a restaurant. In many restaurants you must show your virtue before you receive a drink. So, with a slight bit of disgust I took my virtue and carried it a safe place. Before I went to eat I stopped by a bicycle shop to see about getting my wife a new bike. All the people working at the shop had their virtue on display. Some more prominent than others. Some covering chins, some mouths and the remaining virtue covered both mouth and nose. What a sight! It was not only the employees showing their virtue. About a third of the customers had theirs on display. The shades and colors of the homemade virtue dazzled. The child sized virtue worn by one man was adorable. It almost completely covered the sides of his mouth! Oh to have such childlike virtue again.
As I left I saw that one of the patrons was so proud of her virtue that she wore it driving! I wonder if she wears it while cycling? So much virtue must be difficult to maintain. My virtue remained hidden. “Oh my” I pondered, “Whatever will others think of me? That I have no virtue to display, that I am cruel and don’t care of others?” In a panic I check to see if my virtue is still safely protected. It is! Folded gently and placed in it’s warm safe place my virtue remains.
I arrived at the restaurant and walked to the door. The instructions signaled that virtue must be displayed openly if one wants to enter. Dutifully I pulled my virtue out of its nest and placed it over my face. What a proud moment! My virtue covered my mouth as if to say ‘I speak no evil!’ and tugged down at the end of my nose to make sure it doesn’t point too high in the air. I feel the humility of this act of contrition as I walk in the door.
I smile at the young lady standing behind the counter inside. She can’t see my real smile, but she can see my virtue so proudly on display. I note that her virtue is yellow in color with paper straps. Weak and disposable virtue. I can see her evaluate my virtue and her eyes smile. I wonder if that’s a good thing. I decide that I like it. I walk proudly to my table and order my drink. My virtue is prominently displayed. The other patrons, a safe distance away, look at me as they eat their food and drink their beverages. They can see that I’m virtuous!
When the waitress arrives with my drink I’m reluctant to draw down my virtue. What was proudly displayed must be tucked away out of necessity. Slowly, I remove my hands from the table and pull my virtue down below my chin. I’m once again just ‘normal’. No virtue showing, I eat my food. It’s a guilty feeling that pulls my head closer to the table and draws my arms in to shield my shame. If only I could hide my face with my virtue.
When the food is removed from the table and the bill is signed, I am once again able to show my virtue. I don’t have a good feeling this time. I’m left wondering about the whole experience. I have a better insight into the lady in the car. I think I understand the child like virtue. I know they are both trying to avoid shame and the best way to do that is to have your virtue shine so brightly that no one looks at you like you have no virtue at all.
The optix will be HILARIOUS.
The ridicule will be NEVER-ENDING!
I don’t think he can do that without eliminating some rights. Or he would have to declare martial law
He doesn’t know why people are wearing masks.
